A Netherlands gains great notoriety for being the only country in the world without dogs abandoned in the streets. This reality is only possible thanks to the implementation of the CNVR (Collect, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return) program. Through this system, the Netherlands has become a true paradise for dogs.
Through this innovative program, all dogs in the country, whether adopted or not, go through a rigorous process.

They are collected from the streets, neutered, vaccinated and then returned to their place of origin or forwarded for responsible adoption.
However, this achievement was not achieved without effort. The Netherlands has worked together with animal protection agencies for over 200 years, constantly seeking to improve their practices.
In addition, legislation supporting the CNVR program is regularly updated, ensuring that animal rights and welfare are effectively protected.
In addition to the control system for animals rescued from the streets, a new law establishes clear responsibilities for dog tutors and imposes severe punishments in case of non-compliance.
According to current legislation, anyone who mistreats or abandons their dog can be judged and sentenced to up to five years in prison, in addition to an exorbitant fine of 90,000 euros, equivalent to almost half a million of reais. These measures aim to ensure that animals are treated with respect and dignity.
In addition, all dogs must be identified with a microchip containing the owner's data. This measure allows, in cases of loss or emergency, the animal to be promptly located and returned to its safe home.
When it comes to cats, the rescue procedure is the same. The program also pays all possible attention to these pets.
In Brazil, the reality of animals abandoned and in a situation of vulnerability is alarming, reveals a study carried out by the Instituto Pet Brasil (IBP).
According to the survey, more than 185,000 animals are abandoned on the streets or rescued after being mistreated. They are supported by non-governmental institutions (NGOs) and protection groups.
The survey was conducted in partnership with 400 NGOs across the country, which work tirelessly to ensure the shelter and care of these helpless animals. The collected data reveal the urgency of the situation and the need for effective actions to combat this problem.
In addition, the IBP also points out that approximately 8.8 million pets live in vulnerable conditions in the national territory.
This classification is indicated when the animals are under the guardianship of families below the poverty line or when they are homeless.
Bills are being discussed in the National Congress that aim to toughen the laws against mistreatment and abandonment, as well as institutionalize the care provided by the government to animals rescued or available for rescue.
